Central Contact Point for Multiagency Referral System
The aim of the VINCYP pathway is to ensure that when a child or young person is identified as having a visual impairment that they are referred to the services that they may need as quickly and efficiently as possible. Sometimes this can be difficult due to changes in personnel and service arrangements. There also can be delays if children are seen in a different health or local authority area, or if they move. VINCYP have worked with Health Boards to identify one central point where referrals of children identified by health can be sent. An administrator in each area will keep the addresses of neurodevelopmental services, VI teaching services, habilitation specialists and any other support services for VI in each of their associated local authority areas up to date, and route all referrals to the correct service speedily. In this way we aim to have children, young people and their families supported as quickly as possible.
